LONDON - Real Madrid is footballs biggest moneymaker for the 10th straight year, while Manchester United has risen to second in the rankings by maintaining its commercial growth during its worst-ever Premier League campaign.In the Football Money League compiled by accountancy firm Deloitte, German champion Bayern Munich remained third but Barcelona dropped from second to fourth during its trophyless 2014.In the 2013-2014 financial year, Real generated 549.5 million euros ($752 million on June 30). United brought in 433.2 million pounds ($740 million on June 30), which equated to 518 million euros during the financial year. The current exchange rate would put United top on 566 million euros.Bayern generated 487.5 million euros, Barcelona 484.6 million euros and Paris Saint-Germain 474.2 million euros.Overall, the revenue of the worlds top 20 clubs, which are all European and dominated by eight from the English Premier League, grew 14 per cent year-on-year to 6.2 billion euros ($8.5 billion). The only team to feature from outside the major leagues — England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France — is Turkish champion Galatasaray at 18th with a turnover of 161.9 million euros.Although Real missed out on the Spanish title in 2013-14, the team ended its 12-year wait to be crowned European champions for the 10th time in May.The clubs continued success on the field is complemented by its financial strength and their accomplishment emphasizes their position as the most successful European club side of all time, said Dan Jones, a partner in Deloittes sports division.But Reals supremacy is being threatened by Manchester United, despite the 20-time English champions lacking any UEFA cash in its 2014-15 accounts after the failure to qualify for Europe during David Moyes ill-fated season in charge. There is a recovery under Louis van Gaal, with United fourth in the Premier League.Despite a poor on-pitch season in 2013-14, Uniteds commercial strategy of securing global and regional partners is delivering substantial growth, Deloitte senior manager Austin Houlihan said. Commercial revenue has grown 83 per cent in the last three years.The growth in the value of Premier League television rights led to every team in the topflight reporting record revenue in 2013-14, Deloitte said.___Deloitte table2013-14 positions and revenue in brackets.

If the club can regain their Champions League status for the 2015/16 season, there is a strong possibility they will also regain top spot in our money league for that season.Uniteds hopes of overtaking Real have also been boosted by the strength of the pound against the euro.The money league sees Manchester City remain in sixth position behind Paris St Germain, with Chelsea and Arsenal hold on to their seventh and eighth places and Liverpool moves up to ninth.Indeed, almost half of the top 30 richest clubs are now made up of Premier League sides and that figure is likely to increase.Jones added: It is with great anticipation that we wait to see what the new round of Premier League broadcast deals, expected to be agreed in 2015, will yield. With the market expectation that another significant increase will occur, it is likely that the money league will have a strongly English appearance in the coming years.The Deloitte report highlights the decline of Italian clubs in terms of finances. In 2001 Italy had five clubs in the top 10 and only Juventus, which significantly has built a new stadium, remains there now in 10th position.It also shows the continuing value to the Spanish clubs of negotiating their own broadcast rights. Real earned more than twice the sum of Atletico Madrid in broadcast income, despite its city rivals winning the Spanish league and reaching the final of the Champions League.

.C. -- Duke sophomore Rodney Hood is entering the NBA draft.AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - LeBron James came leaping in to try to stop Jodie Meeks as the Detroit guard drove to the basket during the final seconds of the third quarter.After colliding with Meeks, James put his hands out to break his fall before sliding across the floor on his stomach.I was scared, because I broke my wrist on a fall like that in high school, James said. I was either going to land on my face or break the fall with my hands, but when I hit, both my arms went numb. Im OK now — it was just something like a stinger — but I wasnt sure at first.James barely missed any game time after that anxious moment, and he finished with 32 points to help the Cleveland Cavaliers to their seventh straight victory Tuesday night, 103-95 over the Pistons. Kyrie Irving matched his season high with 38 points.The Cavs never trailed in the second half, but when James hit the deck and didnt immediately get up, that was plenty to be concerned about.That is obviously a time of worry, which is the understatement of the year, Cleveland coach David Blatt said. In a situation like that, you are just hoping he is OK.James quickly came back in the game, and his two-handed breakaway dunk early in the fourth put Cleveland up 80-68.Greg Monroe had 17 points and 12 rebounds for the Pistons, who pulled within eight and had the ball late in the fourth quarter, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was unable to connect from 3-point range. James drew a foul at the other end and made both free throws to make it 88-78 with 2:56 to play.Caldwell-Pope was fouled by James while shooting a 3-pointer with 2:00 remaining, and that trio of free throws made it 90-83. The Pistons got the ball back, but Andre Drummond missed a layup, and Irving connected from beyond the arc.The Cavs avenged a 23-point home loss to Detroit late last month. That game was part of a seven-game winning streak for the Pistons, but now Detroit is struggling to overcome the loss of Brandon Jennings, who ruptured his left Achilles tendon last weekend and will miss the rest of the season.ddddddddddddIRVINGS BIG NIGHTDetroit led 19-17 after a first quarter in which the teams combined to shoot 1 for 16 from outside the paint. Cleveland shrugged off that rough start and reached 100 points for the eighth straight game.Irving was 6 of 10 from 3-point range. The rest of the Cavs went 3 of 24.Thats the luxury of playing with a great player like LeBron. When hes on the floor, you know there are going to be things opened up for the rest of you, Irving said. Tonight, we had a lot of open shots, and we got enough of them to go down.UNDERMANNEDD.J. Augustin, Detroits starting point guard now in Jennings absence, had 19 points and nine assists, but the Pistons have lost three in a row. That skid began with the game at Milwaukee when Jennings got hurt, but coach Stan Van Gundy says the team needs to move forward without him.Weve got good enough players to win, Van Gundy said. We had good enough players in there tonight to win. We just needed to do a couple of things better, and were not going to come in here after every loss now and talk about Brandons effect on it — at least Im not.Cleveland outscored Detroit 50-48 in the paint. Drummond had 12 points and 17 rebounds but shot just 6 of 17.TIP-INSCavaliers: Cleveland had won its last four games by double digits before Tuesday. ... The Cavs are without big man Anderson Varejao, who like Jennings ruptured his left Achilles tendon.Pistons: Detroit had 18 turnovers while Cleveland committed only nine.UP NEXTCavaliers: Host Portland on Wednesday night.Pistons: Play at Philadelphia on Wednesday night.
